Pragmatism

Agree

No

Pragmatists would likely support alternatives to mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession, recognizing the complex social, economic, and health factors involved in drug use. They would favor approaches that are shown to be more effective in reducing harm and addressing the root causes of drug addiction, such as treatment and rehabilitation programs, over punitive measures that do not address these underlying issues.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While pragmatism might support a differentiated approach to drug-related offenses, distinguishing between users and dealers, the endorsement of mandatory minimum sentences even for dealers may be seen as too rigid. Pragmatists would likely prefer a more flexible legal framework that allows for discretion and considers the specifics of each case, including the potential for rehabilitation and the impact of incarceration on communities.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Pragmatism, as an ideology, emphasizes practical consequences and real-world effects over theoretical or ideological purity. Mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession have been criticized for their ineffectiveness in reducing drug use and for contributing to over-incarceration, particularly of nonviolent offenders. Pragmatists would likely view these outcomes as counterproductive to the goals of improving public safety and health, and thus disagree with this approach.
